I just had a little girl last tuesday (our first baby !) and DH asked for paternity leave for this week coming. One of his co-worker is taking professional exams in a few weeks time and she is behind schedule on her tasks...she actually asked him to give up his paternity leave to undertake the tasks she had not completed in time and so that she could go on annual leave to prepare her exam ! unbelievable isn't it ? ...DH was furious ! She insisted and begged for him to stay at work to do her work...People are just so stupid sometimes...
